Frame and Body Mounting: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Ford Pickup, 2011 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2011 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2011 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The frame is comprised of:
- steel channel 2-piece rails
- riveted crossmembers (except for the transmission support crossmember)
- bolt-in rear crossmember (trailer hitch)
- bolt-in fifth wheel trailer hitch (optional)
The vehicle body sits on rubber body supports. Lower and upper body supports keep the vehicle body from sitting directly on the frame.
A kit is available to repair the subframe. Refer to BODY PANEL SYSTEM - BODY REPAIRS .
For diagonal or X-frame checking, refer to BODY PANEL SYSTEM - BODY REPAIRS . When welding is carried out on the vehicle, refer to BODY PANEL SYSTEM - BODY REPAIRS .
